Say What Now? Meet ABC’s First ‘Non-Caucasian’ ‘Bachelor’ [Photo]

Meet professional soccer star Juan Pablo Galavis. He’s being billed as The Bachelor‘s first non-caucasian bachelor.

He looks pretty white to us.

Galavis, who just turned 32 Monday, was actually born in Ithaca, New York, before moving to Venezuela as a toddler. He came back to the States for college, and played soccer at Roberts Wesleyan before going pro.

In his defense, he’s Venezuelan. However, ABC parading around this new ‘non-caucasian’ bachelor as if he’s any different visually from what viewers have been seeing for the past 18 seasons is a bit of a cop-out, if you ask us. He’s definitely hot though….

What do you think about the new bachelor.

I don't really watch the show, but you've gotta be kidding me with this -ish. He looks white to me. SMH.

Uhhhhh....Hispanic people comes in all colors. It is not so far fetched to have a parent or grandparent emigrated from Spain, Italy, Germany or some other European nation and step up roots in Central and South America. Hell that is how Argentina got started. Wanted to whiten up the nation and started encouraging Europeans to set up shop. Same scenario with a number of Latin American nations.
